Had my follow up appointment and everything looks great, I'm down 20lbs total. So my doctor said I could start soft foods that have Protein, I had a very small portion of tuna on Friday and was in the bathroom like 3X's (sorry I know tmi) and today I had mashed potatoes and the same thing happend. Help!!! I'm drinking Water and Gatorade so I won't get dehydrated. I was banded 10/18. Any advice on what to do??? I know it's tmi but, it's so like water...???£???¢

I did. I went threw not going at all to always in the bathroom. My Dr put it simple.... Your colon is re learning how to work. It will get better it has gone from too much food and bowls being forced out fRom too much food. To no food at all than high protein food. It's a lot to go through your colon is healing too.

I was at a seminar right after I started soft foods and they gave us only 3 food choices, Pasta, green salad or hamburger.

So I got the burger and with my fork ate about 1/4 th of the patty. Good god it was almost immediate pain then dumped it all.

chicken doesn't bother me but beef does.

I didn't think we had dumping issues with the band

We don't. I guess I should have just been graphic.
